This is OT but..Do you happen to have or know of some sort of list of
soundcards or chipsets that support hardware level mixing with ALSA? 
I have a Embedded system that uses aRts for a software mixer.  aRts
is great but its a little heavy for my system and I would love to
move this down to the ALSA level.
